Hot water baths do not increase muscle growth?
Do post-exercise hot water baths affect muscle growth?
It has been shown that cold water baths can decrease muscle protein synthesis (the process driving muscle growth and adaptation). Therefore, it can be speculated that hot water baths may be able to increase muscle protein synthesis.

Does casein protein enhance muscle collagen adaptation?
Exercise stimulates muscle growth and strength gains. In addition, exercise stimulates adaptations of the connective tissue inside (muscle collagen) and outside (tendons) of the muscle, to allow proper force transfer from the muscle to the bones.

How long before bed should caffeine be avoided?
The stimulant caffeine has been shown to increase alertness and exercise performance. Therefore, caffeine is widely used by workers and athletes. However, can it negatively affect sleep duration and quality?

Do breath restriction masks improve endurance training adaptations?
Temporarily living at high altitude results in adaptations that improve oxygen transport and exercise performance. However, a training camp at altitude is not very practical.
